Brooklyn (i. Desmond's Trip ii. Brooklyn Bridge iii. Back to Brownsville) Lyrics

The Brooklyn Bridge has always had more than me

You know that it's something that people come and see

It's got responsibility and history

It's got a whole lot of stability

Yes the Brooklyn Bridge has always had more than me

The Brooklyn Bridge, it always stays high

Hey man, you know, when I score, sometimes I think "so can I"

But then I come down and I wanna die

Cause the people they all pass me by

Yes, the Brooklyn Bridge always stays high

I'm gonna jump off the Brooklyn Bridge

Cause life is a son of a bitch

And this city's too goddamn rich for me

The Brooklyn Bridge, it ain't forgiving anyway

People died to build it; at least that's what they say

If it were up to me I'd blow it away

Cause I can't take another fuckin' day

And this city ain't forgiving anyway

The Brooklyn Bridge, it's got me standing on the ledge

I don't feel any fear when I look out over the edge

And then a voice calls to me and says

"What's the matter with you Des?!

It's me! Jacey! Talk to me!

Please get off that ledge!"

I'm gonna walk off the Brooklyn Bridge

Cause Jacey Finn, he's got a hand to give

Saints are here in the city, can't you see?!

You walked into the room

Looking for the booze

You know there's nothing left

But there's nothing left to lose

Surrounded by a cloud

And you've got dirt in your eyes

You take the little pills to bring you back

Until you don't know the truth from lies

You're an atomic bomb

Waiting to go off

Now you're bleeding from the inside

And you've got that smokers cough

Take the bottle from your lips

And the bill from your nose

Take the needle right out of your arm

And get the smell out of your clothes

The Brooklyn Bridge, it ain't so tough anyway

You know that Brownsville ain't so tough anyway

But it's always had more than me
